abstract="Occupational medicine residents at the University of Arizona have received formal academic and practicum training in administration since 1983. Training introduces computer skills, fiscal control, budgeting, personnel management, political or regulatory process, program development, and planning and organization. We asked physician graduates who completed program requirements from 1983-1991 to evaluate administrative training and applicability of training to current employment, and to report on their current job duties. Former residents graded program activities as preparation for management responsibilities: community-based rotations, a one-month administration rotation, committee work, administering a program, and residency training overall. Survey results underscore the importance of management training during residency years, since current job duties show such skills are required. However, since the survey indicates our attempts to foster acquisition of specific management skills have been only partially successful, continued and improved efforts in these training areas are necessary.<p />",
